1.1 What’s in this document?

This document contains the following types of information:

• Information about the changes in LiveCycle ES3 that may affect your upgrade planning and an overview of how the upgrade process works, including an outline of the tasks involved

• All the tasks that must be performed to ensure that the upgrade runs correctly with minimal server downtime (including backing up the existing LiveCycle server and patching the application server as required)

• All hardware and software requirements and configurations that must be already in place to ensure a successful LiveCycle ES3 upgrade process

  Note: If you are planning to perform an upgrade by using the turnkey method for JBoss, you do not need to perform many of the steps in this document. It is recommended that you review the section 3 Understanding the Changes in LiveCycle ES3. However, all preparatory information for a turnkey upgrade, including system requirements, is included in Upgrading to Adobe LiveCycle ES3 for JBoss Turnkey.

  After you complete the tasks in this document, proceed to the Upgrading to Adobe LiveCycle ES3 document for your application server.
